The American Heritage History of the 20's and 30's

416 pp. Includes black-and-white and color illustrations. "After World War I, America turned its back on the world it had helped make safe for democracy and groped for new values, new idols, new adventures. In a mere two decades the nation stumbled over a Noble Experiment, shed a few more tatters of Victorian morality, embraced materialism, endured hunger. It was a time of great change for a people hellbent on changing everything. Here, in one comprehensive volume, is the story of those mercurial, tempering years."--Rear jacket panel
